No-play listAs Armando's is unique, so is its desire to offer a wide variety of music and music genres, while avoiding many of the over-played, over-commercialized cover songs. With that in mind, we have created a short-list of songs that we would appreciate you NOT include in your set list. This No-Play list is called the "Roy Jeans Bottom 9":

We Built This City

You're Having My Baby

It's My Party (And I'll Cry If I Want To)

Feelings

You Light Up My Life

I Am Woman

Yummy Yummy Yummy (I've Got Love In My Tummy)

Sound Equipment
For mains, we've installed a 2-way, bi-amped system with powered QSC-K10 Mains and a CerwinVega JE-36C Folded horn sub-woofer that is powered by a bridged QSC-RMX2450 amp. The sound stream is managed by a DBX Driverack PA+ and mixed using a Presonus StudioLive 16x4x2 digital mixer. The StudioLive mixer provides 16 mic/line inputs that are fully routable to onboard signal processors (HPF, Compression, Limiting, Gating and full GEQ and PEQ) and output busses including 6-auxes, 2-internal effects, 2-aux/returns, 4-subs and stereo mains. The StudioLive is companioned with a “virtual SL” mixer on a computer which allows us to network devices for remote mixing and system setup. The system allows us full 16-track recording with output compatible with all the standard digital audio workstations like ProTools, StudioOne, Cubase, Abelton, etc.
For monitors, we provide up to four individual EQ and input mixes via wedge-type monitors including two Fender SPL1282’s and two JBL 4602A’s powered by two QSC-RMX2450’s.

StageThe stage is 16 inches off the main floor, is 8 feet deep and 18 feet at its longest and is surounded by a floor-to-ceiling black theatre curtain.

Parking
Street parking is available at Armando's. There is usually a space or two reserved in front of the facility to unload (and upload) equipment. It is requested that after unloading your vehicle, that you repark elsewhere on the street to allow the space directly in front of the establishment to keep free and clear of any cars during the show.
